Step 1: Materials

Step 2: Wait - How big should it be?

Well... I must admit - I stole my measurements from imrobot's Instructable www.instructables.com/id/The-plastic-bag-hoodie-How-to-fuse-plastic-bags-a/#step5 . On step 5 he has the measurements. (Alternatively, I've posted it on this step ...

Step 9: Finishing Up!

I was inspired to make a duct tape jacket of some kind because of hat day at my school. Why hat day, you ask? Well...I didn't have any awesome hats, so I made a hex hat from duct tape. It was a hit with my friends, and a lot of people gave good feedback. I was excited to do something bigger. Something with some more "Wow" factor.

When first worn, this jacket is kind of stiff and pretty much a plastic tube. It keeps in a LOT of heat, and is great for wearing in the cold outside! It is also 100% waterproof, and can be used as a rain jacket. The more you wear it, the more more comfortable it gets. Unlucky for me, it is still hot here in the south, even at 5:00 am when I have to go catch the bus for school. Eventually though, I will be wearing this to school everyday :D

So without any more delay, here is my Duct Tape Hoodie! I hope it has enough "Wow" factor for everyone.

Step 1: Materials

Now, gather your materials.
- Duct Tape. I used two 55 yard rolls, and part of a 40 yard roll, along with fluorescent green tape for decorating. I probably spent around $15 for the duct tape. I didn't use proffesional tape... I used the cheapest I could find.
- Masking Tape

Oh! Forgot! You need a large flat surface that you can cut on. I have (clean) concrete floors, so it's no big deal. You may wish to use a large cutting board on a table if you need to (or improvise!).

A while ago i thought of making a duct tape kilt (even with the plaid pattern), but sadly i just didn't have the time, skill, or duct tape to do it. And awsome instructable by the way. It totally beats a duct tape wallet.

I don't use wallets and there are soo many duct tape wallets that I wanted to make something else.&nbsp; I am glad Jacket beats Wallet.<br />

If pants beat jacket, does wallet beat pants?

This is great!! Five stars. Wish I could rate it six stars. <br> <br>How many roles of duct tape did you use to make this? I want to make sure I have enough tape before I begin.

I used the largest ones WalMart had because they were the cheapest. Somewhere around two and a half? I went by yardage (110+) because you can divvy that into whatever size rolls you have available. Larger jacket needs more duct tape. Colors and decorations will also require more ductape.

Very cool!&acirc;&yen;&acirc;&yen;&acirc;&yen; I'm making this for my Art class when we have a duct tape project :) About how long did it take yu to make this?

I want to guess two days? It didn't take that long, but don't rush or else you get wrinkles ;)

wow this is great for broken hood's

Mine is still way to stiff what should i do?<br><br>

Mine is still stiff too. Try crumpling it repeatedly until it becomes more malleable.

*sees the duct tape hoodie and gasps* *sees Csi ny and loses intrest* !!&nbsp;Great work man im making one but im going to add a arm strap thing that my mp3 player fits in and A thing for my blackberry<br />

Good luck! But don't complain to me if it isn't the best heheh.<br /> Oh, and that isn't CSI NY on the tv... it's&nbsp; a weird movie I forgot the name of. I don't even know if I&nbsp;was watching it.<br />

&nbsp;I do watch TV, but I refer to guides to see only the program I want to watch. In this case, Mythbusters is wednesdays @ 9PM eastern.<br /> <br /> I don't just mindlessly stare at the glowing box for hours on end like many people do.

Yay another mythbusters fan! LOL watching 40 year olds blow stuff up for a job I cant believe that we watch it&nbsp; ! that would be a great job :-)<br />

When in doubt, C4 (or in this case, duct tape).

&nbsp;+1

I also have another saying for people who like guns<br /> <br /> When in doubt, enpty the magazine.

i like that, but, just saying, the mythbusters like being reconized for there science show, not for &quot;hey look those guys are the guys that blow stuff up!&quot;

oooooooo.................C4....................

true... <br>

add another arrow that says&quot;Record in slow motion and watch repeatedly&quot;
